-
- The TIGA communications driver can be removed from memory by the
- following command :
-
- tigacd -u [return]
-
-
- - Run "tigalnk -lx" to load the TIGA Graphics Manager, (this is optional
- as the GM will be loaded automatically on running the first TIGA
- application, but this will show up any errors in the previous steps
- at this point).
-
- 3. Run the demo programs :
-
- The TIGA driver is now installed. Demonstration programs are supplied
- in the \demos directory which you can run at this time.
-
-
- 4. Changing modes (resolution)
- ---------------------------
- This version of the TIGA driver (2.05.03) supports two modes.
-
- Mode 0 = 1024 x 786 x 8 Non-interlaced
- Mode 1 = 800 x 600 x 8 Interlaced
-
- To change modes use the tigacnfg.exe program supplied on the
- distribution disk as follows:
-
- > tigacnfg [return]
-
- The current configuration will be displayed. Press the space bar to
- toggle through the modes, and press the enter key to select the mode
- currently displayed as the new startup mode. Press escape to exit.
-
- Alternately you can enter: tigacnfg n
- Where n = the mode number you wish to select as the new startup mode.
-
-
- Run your application it should run in the default mode you have selected.
-
- (There are some applications that select modes internally (usually
- mode 0), in this case you may have to run tigacnfg again for your
- other applications.)
-
